Venet Configuration

[Chris Rivera]

Maybe this is a dumb question but i cannot seem to figure this out.

Coming from building dedicated servers it was normal for us to configure the network using eth0 on the vms. I am using an automated provisioning tool that does not provision the vms in this way so when it creates the vm it has not internet connectivity.

They provision using venet which seems to be the default for openvz.

This does not work.

Does anyone know of a step by step to get this working? Is this automated? If i create a new vm and setup venet using the web interface would this work or do i need to do some cli work as well?

I am not using no customized setup just clean install from iso download with upgrade to latest kernel and distro. Can anyone help shed some light?

Thanks in advance.

see http://wiki.openvz.org/Differences_between_venet_and_veth

if you use venet you configure the network on the Proxmox VE host (GUI), if you use veth you will get eth(x) inside you container and you need to configure IP settings inside the container.
